A bunch of parrot tulips

Parrot tulips are my favourite as you probably know. In the vase they are in different position. Some of them are straight some lean over the ground.

Silver parrot

Again my favourite parrot tulips. This one is called "silver parrot". I like the colour and shape. The lines are a bit blurred.

Yellow tulips

.

These tulips are grown mostly in rock gardens. The flowers look like small stars scattered on the ground.

A girl with a big smile

The picture makes me feel more cheerful and childish. It reminds me of my childchood. The drawing was done frome an old calendar.

Still life with peppers

This drawing was prepared from a magazine article. It was about Mexico and as you can see there are many fruits and vegetables that hail from this country. I like the background where the ocean is depicted.

Ladybirds on the field flower

I like this drawing though it's quite small. I don't really see ladybirds in fine arts but it's such a graceful subject of study.

Tea-pot with fruits

This is one of Gauguin's still lifes. He chose tropical fruit as his subject of study. The composition is interesting and the colours catch our eye.

A haera oe i hia?

The picture is very similar to the last one. The composition is almost the same apart from the fact that the main character is holding a scarf round her waist.

Eu haere ia oe?

At the front there is a woman standing with a big fruit.She's got a suntan and probably she is an inhabitant of Haiti. In the background her acquaintances observing her.

Nafea faa ipoipo?

The women are sitting one close to the other. The message of the drawing may seem ambigious. The colours are very tropical and vivid. Surely it's the influence of Haiti on Gauguin.

Breton girls at the sea cost

Gauguin depicted two little girls. This drawing is not very beautiful. I would say it is simply plain. Gauguin used to paint figures using very sharp lines. It is typical of him.

Model with curly hair

This time my idea was to draw a model. I particularly like the ethnic pattern on the kerchief. The additional effect was sunny light on the left part whereas the other side is in shade.

A boy in a straw hat

Recently I've made up my mind to start drawing children. They are such a sweet topic of study. One of my works is a boy in a straw hat. I like the summer nature of the picture especially the sunny reflections at the back of the figure.

Model with a blue kerchief

Some time have passed and I come back with some drawings, tulips, flowers and portraits. This time a portrait of a lady. It's tropical and colourful. The woman is a model beauty. I think it's much harder to draw somebody with wrinkles.
